Amazon
  • DVD: US, CAN
Comments Alex: The first of WWE’s “Blood Money” Pay-Per-Views paid for by the same Saudi prince who ordered the murder of Jamal Khashoggi in the Saudi Consolate in Istanbul. To cut the Vincent K. McMahon Jr. a small (mostly undeserved) amount of slack, this was before the murder, but after Prime Minister Saad Hariri of Lebanon was kidnapped by the Saudi government and held incommunicado until he agreed to resign, and only then was he permitted to leave the country (at which point he recinded the resignation as soon as he was safely back home).

Finally, the picks of the week. Alex says, “Cowboy Bebop: The Movie is my pick of the week, and I’d recommend listening to the podcast episode for more information as to why. :-)” Blaine says, “Some Like It Hot really is a wonderful movie, even if it’s not my choice for the greatest comedy of all time. Marilyn Monroe, Jack Lemmon, and Tony Curtis would very well together.”

  1. Pixar shorts are some of the best short animation (visual and story) around. Period. I highly recommend picking up Volume 3. I’ll be grabbing Discovery as well.
